This policy position paper is based on the discussions held during the Joint Conference on 22 October 2024, organized by the Horizon Europe gEneSys and NET4Air projects. The conference highlighted the importance of integrating gender equality and the gender dimension in the research and innovation (R&I) processes related to energy transition and advanced technological innovations (deep tech). Despite the distinct focuses of the two projects—gEneSys on social and gender inequalities in energy transition and NET4Air on air pollution monitoring using deep tech—common ground was found in their shared commitment to ensuring that public investment in innovation contributes to both technological progress and social sustainability. This paper outlines key recommendations for policy actions to address these challenges, foster innovation, and meet the European Union’s gender equality and sustainability goals.

Descrizione: Questo position paper nasce dalle discussioni tenutesi durante la Joint Conference del 22 ottobre 2024, organizzata nell’ambito dei progetti Horizon Europe gEneSys e NET4Air. L’evento ha evidenziato l’importanza di integrare la parità di genere e la dimensione di genere nei processi di ricerca e innovazione (R&I) legati alla transizione energetica e alle tecnologie avanzate (deep tech). Sebbene i due progetti abbiano focus distinti—gEneSys si concentra sulle disuguaglianze sociali e di genere nella transizione energetica, mentre NET4Air sul monitoraggio dell’inquinamento atmosferico attraverso le deep tech—entrambi condividono l’impegno a garantire che gli investimenti pubblici nell’innovazione favoriscano non solo il progresso tecnologico, ma anche la sostenibilità sociale. Questo documento presenta raccomandazioni chiave per azioni politiche volte ad affrontare queste sfide, promuovere l’innovazione e raggiungere gli obiettivi dell’Unione Europea in materia di parità di genere e sostenibilità.
